Tiberina Island Sunrise, Rome, Italy
Tiberina Island is considered the birthplace of Rome; a crucial ford across the Tiber River and a site that has symbolized health and healing since ancient times, first with the Temple of Aesculapius and later with the Fatebenefratelli Hospital, a place held dear by Romans. I had long wanted to take this photo from the […]
Passignano Abbey, Tuscany, Italy
The Chianti countryside is full of these abbeys. I was there in autumn, and I had a fence net. It was a complicated shot through it. Anyway, I got the shot that I had in my mind.
Joy Comes In The Mourning, Estes Park, Colorado, USA
Just days after my sister passed away on August 10, 2024, following a long battle with addiction, I found myself searching for a place to breathe.

Torre Di Bari, Barisardo, Nuoro, Sardinia, Italy
Along the Ogliastra coast in southeastern Sardinia, old watchtowers—built to guard against Saracen raids—still dot the landscape today.

The long exposure used to capture the sea […]

San Rafael Swell Sunrise, Emery County, Utah, USA
I was on a quick trip between the LA area of California and Moab, Utah. I had one night to find a place with dark skies so I could get a good Milky Way photo. But there was one problem. Monsoonal moisture had spread all over central and southern Utah, and when I stopped for […]
Juniper Silhouette, Cardedu, Nuoro, Sardinia, Italy
Among the beaches of Cardedu in southeastern Sardinia, the one I feel most attached to is Su Sirboni—a name that means the wild boar. Not only is the beach set in a stunning bay, but it also boasts seascapes framed by the coast’s red granite rocks—sights rarely found elsewhere. I have photographed it using every […]
Red Rocks At Sunrise, Arbatax, Nuoro, Sardinia, Italy
The Red Rocks (Rocce Rosse) in Arbatax are one of the town’s famous attractions, serving as the backdrop for a major annual music festival held right by the sea. As the last of the previous night’s revelers were leaving, I was setting up my tripod and camera. Amidst yawns and curious glances, I searched for […]
Sunset Light On Mount Baker, Skagit Wildlife Area, Edison, Washington, USA
During the winter months, when the days are short, I make trips to the Skagit Wildlife Area, located between BayView and Edison, to photograph owls and other raptors during golden hour. During a lull in the activity, just as the sun was setting, I stepped away from the tripod-mounted setup and noticed the light on […]
